I returned to Las Vegas not long ago from a cruise to Alaska.   It’s one hundred and eight degrees here and no matter what they say about a dry heat, hot is still hot!  I’m ready to go back to the land of the glaciers.

The trip was fabulous.  Cold, rainy, and windy in Skagway, but the stop in Ketchikan happened between storms and the weather was beautiful.  Our last stop was in Victoria, which is so completely charming.  During a tour of the city, we drove through the campus of the University of Victoria and there were bunnies everywhere!  Seriously.

It rained in Seattle (big surprise) the day before we came home and how I wish for some now, along with a drop in temperature.  I’ve subtracted all the clothes possible this side of decency and comfort isn’t happening until sometime in the Fall.

Until then, I’m hunkered down inside with the air conditioner set on glacier.  When not writing, I’m working my way through a sizable stack of books.  If you’re doing the same, I hope you’ll check out the first book in my next Men of Mercy Medical series.  THE SURGEON’S FAVORITE NURSE should be on the shelves in the next couple of days.

Stay cool!

It feels as if the holidays were just last week, yet summer is right around the corner.  I don’t know about you, but to me that says, “Beach Read.”  Is there anything better than an ocean view, a lounge chair and a book?  Possibly the addition of an umbrella drink might enhance the experience.

I’m very excited to have three books coming out during “beach read” season.  The first is in July, a two-in-one with Susan Mallery.  She’s a good friend and fabulous writer.  I had fun with the dedication to her in this book.

In August, look for TAMING THE MONTANA MILLIONAIRE, my very first time in the recurring Montana Mavericks continuity series.  And September brings THE SURGEON’S FAVORITE NURSE, the first in the next trilogy for my ongoing Men of Mercy Medical books.  Then we’ll be just about to anticipate the holiday season again.

But before that, the unstable spring weather will give way to the hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer.  When you’re sitting out by the pool, lake or ocean, enjoy books.  I’m leaving for a cruise to the Mexican Riviera soon and my to-be-read stack is ready to go.  My clothes?  Not so much.  But I’ll get there.

Adios and all the Best,
Teresa Southwick
